The Rules of Social Media Debunked via Social Media Examiner

Michael Stelzner says:

In this video I interview Jason Falls, co-author of No Bullshit
Social Media: The All-Business No-Hype Guide and founder

own environment and see if it works for you.

ViDEO - Human Media: Beyond Social Media (TEDx Talk)
by Isra Garcia on Social Media Today

Some lines from Isra’s TEDx talk:

(Interactions) should be based on human values, emotions,
needs and wants.

The social media challenge is to get back to human nature.

(With so many messages) we’re getting back to a mass
marketing era.

We’ve accepted the phenomenon of communication based
on non-communication.

This is the good part; the game has changed so hack the rules.

Use human relationships to make business happen.

Social media and technology won’t change the world
people will. So why not constantly focus on that.

*Things do seem to have come full circle. It’s time to start
interacting via technology as humans and not as a message.

So how do you make it your own and keep it human?
